[ad_1]
The Federal Supreme Court (STF) rescheduled for August 2 the judgment that deals with the possible decriminalization of drug possession for personal consumption. The process on the subject should have been judged in June of this year, but it was postponed due to the sessions destined for the trial of former president Fernando Collor.
Decriminalization began to be analyzed in 2015, but the trial was suspended due to a request for a review by Minister Alexandre de Moraes. The case deals with the possession and possession of drugs for personal consumption, a low-level criminal offense set out in Article 28 of the Drug Law (Law 11,343/2006), reported Agência Brasil.
The foreseen penalties are warning about the effects of drugs, community services and educational measure of attending a program or course on drug use.
So far, three ministers – Luís Roberto Barroso, Edson Fachin and Gilmar Mendes – have voted, all in favor of some type of decriminalization of drug possession. The appeal on the subject has recognized general repercussions, and should serve as a parameter for the entire Brazilian Judiciary.
